Chapter 21 Give Me Power!
David reached into his briefcase and took out a notebook and a pen.
No wonder he was once an office director.
A bad pen is worse than a good memory; that's what my teachers taught me when I was in school, and that's what Dawei does now that he's working.
When a high-ranking leader speaks of something important, you must remember it clearly.
Previously, whenever Qiao Yong assigned any important tasks, Dawei would not only meticulously record them, numbering 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... but after recording them, he would also reiterate the points he had recorded in his own words, as concisely as possible, and ask his superior if there were any errors or omissions.
Qiao Yong once commented on Dawei: "I trust this young comrade to get things done."
Unexpectedly, Wang Guozheng then gestured for Wei to stop, saying, "Wei, you don't need to write it down. Just keep it in your heart."
Hearing the name Ah Wei, Da Wei felt very reassured.
Only very close people would call him that.
Moreover, the fact that the godfather said to just keep it in mind means that what he said next was not something that should be left in the past.
David nodded obediently and put the paper and pen back into his bag.
Wang Guozheng lowered his voice, his face regaining its usual sternness.
"You are returning to Yuanshan County with a mission."
I'm not telling you to go back and enjoy your retirement.
I demand that you completely eradicate the pollution problem caused by enterprises in Yuanshan County within three years.
We must not only eradicate pollution, but also ensure the economic development of Yuanshan County.
As far as I know, Yuanshan County's economic ranking in Meihua City has been third from the bottom for the past two years.
"I want you to improve Yuanshan County's economic ranking by one or two places within three years, while ensuring that the pollution from enterprises is resolved."
These words contain a great deal of information.
After hearing this, David was initially excited, but then he felt immense pressure.
The exciting thing is that the leader is about to grant him power.
It's not hard to tell from his godfather's words that he's preparing to put him in charge of a region.
The pressure comes from the specific requirements of the leader.
Dawei knew the situation in Yuanshan County all too well.
Driven by the Zhou-Xie alliance (Zhou Xiangzhang and Xie Changhe), Yuanshan County has attracted a large number of polluting building materials companies.
They went to economically developed cities in Guangdong Province, such as Foshan, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, and recruited some polluting companies that were struggling to survive in those areas.
Thanks to these enterprises, Yuanshan County's economy has risen from last place in the city to eighth place.
Eighth is the county government office's version, while the unofficial version is third from last.
Meihua City administers eight counties and two districts, making a total of ten counties and districts. It is the third to last, so it is the eighth.
Yuanshan County is located in the northeastern part of Guangdong Province. Its geographical environment is described as having "eight parts mountains, one part water, and one part farmland," meaning that the per capita arable land area is very limited.
In the past, the county mainly relied on cash crops such as tobacco, watermelon, navel orange, and pomelo.
Everyone was having a very hard time.
Eliminating all polluting enterprises seems easy; as long as we take a tough stance, we can definitely do it.
Why haven't these polluting companies been shut down all these years?
It's because the area is poor.
County Chief Qiao paid the ultimate price for this, but he still couldn't solve the problem.
The idea of taking action against local polluting enterprises is met with opposition not only from the rentier class, but also from some poor, exploited ordinary people who work in the factories.
Many people like Lin Lao Er's father, who worked in polluting factories, thought these factories were good as long as they provided employment, before their health deteriorated.
Gradually, an unreasonable phenomenon emerged in Yuanshan County: many people felt that corporate pollution was acceptable, saying that there is always a price to pay for running a business, and it is normal for a few people to die.
The problems are deeply entrenched.
People have come to regard the unreasonable as reasonable.
Qiao Yong's strategy at the time was correct: to tackle pollution on one hand and attract investment on the other.
But both of these things are difficult, and doing them together makes it even more difficult.
Qiao Yong was an outsider, weak and alone. Looking back now, Dawei realizes that County Chief Qiao's failure was inevitable.
Okay, let's not talk about any of that.
Even if David can solve the pollution problem.
But what about economic development?
The demands from the top leader are really too difficult; he wants to solve the pollution problem and also boost the economy.
Dawei inwardly groaned.
If we eliminate all these companies, we'll be lucky to stay in eighth place, let alone move up one or two places to seventh or even sixth.
Wang Guozheng looked at Dawei's tightly furrowed brows and chuckled softly: "What's wrong? Are you in trouble and scared?"
That's normal.
I don't blame you.
You can choose a more relaxed way of life.
Xiaodan told me you don't want to come to Kyoto?
"Then I'll stay in Guangdong Province, find a quiet, low-paying job in a government office like a library, and retire peacefully."
David, sitting opposite him, realized he was being provoked.
Feeling like I'm sitting on pins and needles, under immense pressure.
His hands were clasped tightly together, and they were sweating.
On second thought.
If he doesn't do it, then who will?
Yuanshan County's significant development must not rely on polluting enterprises.
This problem will have to be solved sooner or later.
If he doesn't take the blame, who will?
David gritted his teeth: "I'm not afraid."
Those who have won have the confidence and courage to back it up!
Don't let his current state fool you.
But he is someone who has actually won, at least twice.
Once, when Dawei was a teenager, he defeated many opponents and was admitted to the highest university in Guangdong Province from the countryside. He had already won once.
Another time, after starting work, he refused to associate with those people and focused on his work in the county government office, enduring years of suppression. Finally, he was recognized by Qiao Yong and appointed as the director of the county government office.
Therefore, even when faced with this difficult and complex situation, he will not back down and will dare to rise to the challenge.
"Godfather, I am not afraid of hardship or difficulty."
but!
I have a request.
Wang Guozheng lit a cigarette, smiled and nodded at him, signaling Dawei to continue.
Give me the power!
"Give me power, that's not enough; I also need resources."
Upon hearing this, the kingdom burst into laughter.
"Hahaha……
Xiao Dan said you're a fool.
I don't think you're stupid at all!
it is good!
I like people like that.
The old man was right about you.
I'll give you the power;
"I'll provide the resources too."
David became excited, loosened his clenched hands, gripped the armrests of the chair, and looked at Wang Guozheng expectantly, eager to hear what kind of power he could be given and what kind of resources he would be allocated.
In fact, when it comes to resources, the most important thing is the list of companies to be recruited.
We need someone to help us introduce some good companies to Yuanshan County so that Dawei and his team can work on them and persuade them to come here.
Attracting investment is a matter that requires a balance between personal connections and policy considerations.
Simply presenting policies is useless; businesses don't know you or trust you, so no matter how good your policies are, they won't come.
Therefore, you need connections, resources, and introductions.
At that moment, neither of them noticed that there was a person standing outside the study door.
Wang Xiaodan went to the kitchen to instruct the housekeeper to prepare dinner. When she returned, she heard the two chatting animatedly at the door, so she didn't want to disturb them.
When she heard Wang Guozheng laughing heartily, Xiao Dan felt a weight lifted from her heart.
She knew that Dawei had already gotten past his older brother's hurdle.
From this perspective, David's future path will be much easier.
